One of the biggest fears a landlord has is the fear of renting out his house to a tenant that doesn’t pay rent and gives trouble. Fear of tenants defaulting on rent payment isn’t a problem unique to landlords in Dubai; it is a universal fear.

For landlords, this fear leads them to employ the services of a letting agent.

While the landlords are afraid of getting bad tenants that default in payments, the would-be tenants are also scared; they also want a landlord who ‘understands’ them.

Letting agents are mainly responsible for long-term financial and legal matters; therefore, it is wise to pick the best from the many agents around.

As with top real estate brokers in Dubai, a top letting agent isn’t easy to come by. In this post, we would be letting landlords in on a few secrets on how to pick the best-letting agents for their rental properties.

The process of getting a letting agent, whether it’s for CityWalk apartments or another upscale property, can be stringent. So here are some guidelines to help every landlord make the right decision.

1. Choose the service level:

There are several levels of service that letting agent’s offer. Some of these services include tenant-find only, property management and tenant-find plus rent collection.

For tenant-only, the agent finds the tenant for the landlord and deals with the first phase of rental paperwork. The landlord manages the property from then on.

The tenant-find plus rent collection looks like this -> the agent finds the tenant, will be in charge of collecting the rent, but the landlord would see to other matters.

While the full management means the letting agent is in total control of managing the rental process from start to finish. As a landlord, choose from these options and then move on to the next phase: selecting an agent.

2. Select a local agent:

Choosing an agent that knows the terrain of the area where the rental property is located in is essential because,

1) It makes the agent’s work faster, and the landlord’s payment comes quick.

2) It ensure an excellent level of competency as people are familiar with the agent.

As a landlord, checking the agent online to know his/her reputation in the market is imperative. Also, check to see if he/she is part of the organized bodies of agents in the country; this lends a great deal of credibility to the agent.

3. Review marketing strategies:

Letting agents are not so different from Dubai real estate agencies in the way they operate. For these agents, getting the right deal, and fast is essential to them. They employ a host of marketing strategies. As a landlord, you should check if the approach that would be used by the agent you want to hire suits you and would get the desired result at the specified time.
